![]() ![]() I think this correction (especially the last one) may be a tad contrast-heavy, but all of this is still a work in progress. Then just to see how much detail I could pull out of the iTunes master, I upscaled three corrected frames to 4k and added grain to combat the waxy appearance, then downscaled them back to their original size: Using mainly correctly photographed animation cels from the first season as a reference, as well as the VHS Pilot, I’ve begun with a single LUT to serve as a correction across the entire episode. I also believe in the recent HD releases, there was a considerable amount of noise removal to remove the film grain from the 35mm elements (35mm elements meaning most everything you see, save for a few post-animation alterations that bring a considerable amount of motion smearing and interlacing with them). The master was definitely done incorrectly for whatever reason, as evident when comparing the contrast-corrected VHS recording of the original master, to the current master used for all subsequent reruns and home video releases. I theorize that an original master was made to show once to Nick in '97, and once following the KCA’s to debut the show’s first episode.Īfter the remainder of Season One was completed, with a cemented introduction song, however, the original 35mm elements were remastered to remove the original intro and replace it with a bubble transition two years later, in order to fit with the remainder of the show. So I’ve been working for a little while on color correction, as it seems the picture is in dire need of ‘de-purpling’ much akin to the 2004 Star Wars masters.

Link Time 1 7:29 PM - Edited 1 7:30 PM I’m trying to stay as faithful as possible to the animation cels/VHS tape, without crushing too much detail, a problem I’ve already ran into thus far. Unfortunately this is about as close as it’ll get to the original broadcast master, there’s not much more color information I can pull out of this release.

Now you know, so hurry up and listen to me, only I have the power to save the ones you love. But I’m sure you brush that off as being ‘quiet and contemplative’, a real Man of Steel you are. I’ve spent the last five years using elaborate made-up stories and painfully obvious implications and you haven’t picked up on a single one. And only through me, because im the last of the jedi’s opposition. “Only through me can you achieve a power greater then any jedi. Post #908175 Topic What Didn't You Like About ROTS?

Oh man, I had some fun times following the Irate Gamer ‘war’ between his fans and AVGN fans.

Link Time 2 6:04 PM It would be truly amazing if not long after the release of Rouge One, that we all get to see the direct continuation of that story with the original Star Wars in theatres again.īut here’s a dismal thought that crossed my mind: if your work is approved for release, could you imagine Disney perhaps further modifying it, in a way that would ‘satisfy its creator’ per say? From the little I’ve seen online you’ve produced a quality that could probably sway George Lucas himself to issue an official release. I wish you the best in your endeavor, it would be criminal for Disney to refuse this restoration.
